Hotels in Santiago de Compostela

ListMap

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia, but first and foremost, it’s a place of pilgrimage. As such, it has a long tradition of hospitality. Today, visitors can choose from roughly 120 hotels and guesthouses in the city, many of them located in the casco histórico, the medieval old town, where the cathedral and the city’s main tourist attractions are all within a fairly small radius. But even in the Ensanche, the new town area of the city to the south, accommodation beckons – as does a lively nightlife scene.

The entire city center is not very big, however, so that everything is within easy walking distance from both parts of town. If you are planning to come in the second half of July, definitely book ahead because the city really fills up during the Fiestas del Apóstol, the Feast of Saint James.
